I also wear thongs for comfort its the way to go.
But if I need to wear something tight, which is rare, I prefer wearing nothing. Just slip those puppies on and off I go.
Regarding the bra line… screw the bra too. I’m small enough to where I dont need one:D .
runs away … before for I get to …
I’m another one who thinks VPL are terrible I can’t believe I ever wore regular underwear.
Since we’re on the topic, how do people feel about the phenomenon of the thong showing above the pants? It tends to happen when seated and wearing low-rise pants. Apparently some people do it on purpose. It’s sort of similar to the young black guys with their boxers sticking out of their beltless baggy jeans. My most recent boyfriend thinks it’s sexy.
Because the panty line breaks the smooth line of your pants or whatever.
I hate the idea of thongs-ick. Don’t they make seamless undies?
Er, what’s the diff between a thong and a G-string? Iquiring minds want to know…
A thong has fabric at the top of the back and a bit wider bands. Looks more like a regular pair of panties but with both the buttcheeks cut out.
A g-string is just a triangle at the front, and then a string around the waist and up the backside to hold it on. A g-string is much closer to wearing nothing at all.
We’ve always called that “butt cleavage” or “the plumber thing,” as I’ve never seen it happen without, well, butt cleavage showing too. I personally can’t stand it when it happens to me, but I generally don’t mind it on others. YMMV.
As a hormone-driven male, I’d like to chime in something here which is kind of a hijack but not really enough of one to be worth its own thread:
I cannot stand thongs. I don’t find them sexy at all. I prefer a woman to wear regular panties, and if the panty line is visible, great!
For one thing, thongs have got to be uncomfortable, but more than that, from my own aesthetic perspective, when the pants come off and a woman is wearing a thong, it’s, uh, not flattering, if you take my drift. What I’m trying to say is that maybe it’s some weird peculiarity of my slightly distorted vision, but thong underwear would make Kate Moss look like she’s got a big, fat ass. When not in pants, that is. When the thong comes off too, everything returns to proper proportion (also I stop paying attention to things like this); it’s just the strange position of the boundary line between underwear and buttcheek that messes with my head.
Don’t get me started on high heels…
You may now return to your originally scheduled thread. Thanks for listening.
This may be true for you; however, my thong clad rump is enough to send my SO’s eyeballs shooting straight accross the room, if you get my drift - clearly there’s a degree of subjectivity involved…
As to the ginchies poking out over the top of the pants - personally, I hate it - I think it looks rediculous. As of late, La Senza has been selling a “Super Low Rise Thong[sup]TM[/sup]” which pretty much eliminates the problem.
Horray La Senza!
Basically what jinwicked said. A thong has a strip of fabric with a seam on each side… a g-string has either a piece of elastic or a single seam going up the back.
(these links are to a lingerie shop’s images, so if looking at someone in undies is a no-no for you, then don’t click)
This doesn’t show the back, but I’d bet $100 that it’s a g-string

Where that v in the front comes together at the bottom is probably the last fabric on the whole thing. The back would be the same material that those side straps are.
This is the front and back of a thong

You can see that it’s fabric cut into underwear with a very narrow back, then seamed all around the sides.
Ok, call me anal (haha get it? hahaha…er…heh…nevermind) but I made a diagram.
Well, anal or not, thats the best dern Butt-Floss diagram that I’VE ever seen. 
Well, alice, if that’s the case, then please keep wearing the thongs; I grow my hair long because my current gal-pal likes it, even though I’d prefer to keep it military length, especially in summer. I don’t care for thongs, but if he digs it (and you don’t dislike it), then by all means do it; a little compromise like this is critical. I’ve had girlfriends (OK, one girlfriend, bless her heart) spend an entire summer in capri pants because I think they are SO SEXY. Capri pants and painted toenails are enough to send me into an absolute frenzy, for some reason.
Ahhh, thank god for the myriad convolutions of sexuality…
See, now I DO wear a plethora of capri pants with toenails to match…
Painted toenails (to me) only look good if they’re freshly done/maintained. Even then only some colours.
You mean as opposed to chiped and gross and nasty? Yah, no kidding.
This belongs in another thread, but I hate it when I see a woman with cute little sandles on, and gross nasty unpedicured feet.
If you don’t want to pedicure, fine, but please, at least keep those beasts to yerself!
I have never had a pedicure, and I have nasty scaly dried skin on the tops of my feet. My only pair of shoes are a pair of sandals. They are comfortable. If people don’t want to see my feet, they shouldn’t look down.
Comfortable?? I tried a thong exactly once. How can you possibly be comfortable with a perma-wedgie up your butt? 
Thanks, jinwicked and OpalCat- I never knew. 
Now I know what to add to Zoggie’s WishList…
I think thongs are more comfortable as well. Usually the amount of fabric that you have a wedgie with is small enough that you get pretty used to it and can ignore it. With regular undies, I always get a wedgie anyway, but it is with a lot more fabric and is very uncomfortable.
OK OK OK thongs are comfortable for some! And I guess if I had a firmer butt I would feel confident wearing one under slinky clothes. But under slinky clothes my glutes need support, there would be way too much jiggle under dat dress.
Luckily in summer I have a built in stair master. 62 steps from the deck to dock!
